foregoing terms included in the description of Collateral is changed, the
parties hereto desire that any property that is included in such changed
definitions that would not otherwise be included in the foregoing grant on the
date hereof be included in such grant immediately upon the effective date of

Collateral set forth above be construed to include the broadest possible range
of assets (except as specifically excluded by Section 2.2 of this Agreement).

provisions hereof will violate any law, rule or regulation or will result in a
default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any

which, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent, on demand, for all
reasonable payments and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent with
respect to such Grantor or any of its Collateral pursuant to the foregoing
authorization; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this section shall be
construed as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any
obligation on the Administrative Agent to cure or perform, any covenants or
other agreements of any Grantor with respect to any of the foregoing matters as
set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 5. COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES.

concentration account as required by Section 10.29 of the Credit Agreement.
5.2 COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES. The Administrative Agent may at any time
in its sole discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an

the Lenders. In the event of such notice, the Grantors shall, and shall permit
the Administrative Agent to, promptly notify the account debtors or obligors
under the Receivables of the Administrative Agent's interest therein and direct

received by any of them with respect to the Receivables and Other Collateral and
immediately and at all times thereafter deliver to the Administrative Agent all

cash collateral account and the Administrative Agent may (and shall, at the
direction of the Required Lenders), from time to time, apply the collected
balances in said cash collateral account to the payment of the Obligations.
SECTION 6. REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.
6.1 REMEDIES GENERALLY; OBTAINING OF THE COLLATERAL. Each Grantor
agrees that, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, THEN
and in every such case, subject to any mandatory requirements of applicable law
then in effect, the Administrative Agent, in addition to any rights now or
hereafter existing under applicable law, shall have all rights as a secured
creditor under
14
the Uniform Commercial Code in all relevant jurisdictions and may exercise any
or all of the following rights (all of which each Grantor hereby agrees is
commercially reasonable):
(a) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately retake
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from such
Grantor or any other Person who then has possession of any
part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for
that purpose may enter upon such Grantor's premises where any
of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in
connection with such removal any and all services, supplies,
aids and other facilities of such Grantor;
(b) instruct the obligor or obligors on any Account, agreement,
instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation,
Account Debtors) constituting the Collateral to make any
payment required by the terms of such Account, agreement,
instrument or other obligation directly to the Administrative
Agent and/or directly to a Blocked Deposit Account;
(c) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, or direct such Grantor to
sell, assign or otherwise liquidate, any or all of the
Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the

Deposit Account to transfer funds from such Blocked Deposit

of the applicable Blocked Account Agreement;
(e) withdraw any or all monies, securities and/or instruments in
the Collateral Concentration Account for application to the
Obligations in accordance with SECTION 6.4 hereof;
(f) pay and discharge taxes, Liens or claims on or against any of
the Collateral;
(g) pay, perform or satisfy, or cause to be paid, performed or
satisfied, for the benefit of any Grantor, any of the
obligations, terms, covenants, provisions or conditions to be
paid, observed, performed or satisfied by such Grantor under
any contract, agreement or instrument relating to its
Collateral, all in accordance with the terms, covenants,
provisions and conditions thereof, as and to the extent that
such Grantor fails or refuses to perform or satisfy the same;
(h) enter into any extension of, or any other agreement in any way
relating to, any of the Collateral;
(i) make any compromise or settlement the Administrative Agent
deems desirable or proper with respect to any of the
Collateral; and/or
(j) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof by
directing such Grantor or any other Person in possession
thereof in writing to deliver the same to the Administrative
Agent at any place or places designated by the Administrative
Agent, in which event such Grantor shall at its own expense:
15
(i) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the
place or places so designated by the
Administrative Agent and there delivered to
the Administrative Agent;
(ii) store and keep any Collateral so delivered
to the Administrative Agent at such place or
places pending further action by the
Administrative Agent as provided in SECTION
6.2; and
(iii) while the Collateral shall be so stored and
kept, provide such guards and maintenance
services as shall be necessary to protect
the same and to preserve and maintain them
in good condition;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that none of the foregoing remedies in this Section 6.1 shall
be exercised if such action is inconsistent with Section 12 of the Credit
Agreement, and it being understood that such Grantor's obligation so to deliver
the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon
application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Grantor of
said obligation.
6.2 DISPOSITION OF THE COLLATERAL. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default and provided such action is consistent with
Section 12 of the Credit Agreement, any Collateral repossessed by the
Administrative Agent under or pursuant to SECTION 6.1 and any other Collateral
whether or not so repossessed by the Administrative Agent may be sold, assigned,
leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety,
and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale of the property to
be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or
places and on such terms as the Administrative Agent may, in compliance with any
mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially
reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of,
in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Administrative
Agent or after any overhaul or repair that the Administrative Agent shall
determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such disposition that shall be a
private sale or other private proceedings permitted by such requirements shall
be made upon not less than five days' written notice to such Grantor specifying
the time at which such disposition is to be made and the intended sale price or
other consideration therefor, and shall be subject, for the five days after the
giving of such notice, to the right of the relevant Grantor or any nominee of
the relevant Grantor to acquire the Collateral involved at a price or for such
other consideration at least equal to the offered sale price or other
consideration so specified. Any such disposition that shall be a public sale
permitted by such requirements shall be made upon not less than five days'
written notice to the relevant Grantor specifying the time and place of such
sale and, in the absence of applicable requirements of law, shall be by public
auction (that may, at the Administrative Agent's option, be subject to reserve),
after publication of notice of such auction not less than five days prior
thereto in two newspapers in general circulation in the city where such
Collateral is located. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law,
the Administrative Agent may bid for and become the purchaser (by bidding in
Obligations or otherwise) of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for
sale in accordance with this SECTION 6.2 without accountability to the relevant
Grantor (except to the extent of surplus money received as provided in SECTION
6.4). If, under mandatory requirements of applicable law, the Administrative
Agent shall be required to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of
time that does not permit the giving of notice to the Grantor as hereinabove
16
specified, the Administrative Agent need give the relevant Grantor only such
notice of disposition as shall be reasonably practicable in view of such
mandatory requirements of applicable law.
6.3 WAIVER OF CLAIMS. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE
AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S TAKING
POSSESSION OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY
PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT THAT THE GRANTOR WOULD
OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF
ANY STATE, and each Grantor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by
law:
(a) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession except any
damages that are determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction to be the result of the Administrative
Agent's gross negligence or wilful misconduct;
(b) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale
or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the
Administrative Agent's rights hereunder; and
(c) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay,
extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any
applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of
this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any
portion thereof, and each Grantor, for itself and all who may
claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter
lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.
Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon
any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and
demand, either at law or in equity, of the relevant Grantor therein and thereto,
and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the relevant
Grantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the
Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from,
through and under the relevant Grantor.
6.4 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. All Collateral and proceeds of Collateral
obtained and realized by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
enforcement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6 shall be applied as
follows:
(a) FIRST, to the payment to the Administrative Agent, for
application to the Obligations as provided in Section 12.3
of the Credit Agreement; and
(b) SECOND, to the extent remaining after the application pursuant
to the preceding clause (a) and following the termination of
this Agreement pursuant to SECTION 8.11 hereof, to the
relevant Grantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to
receive such payment.
6.5 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby
specifically given to the Administrative Agent shall be in addition to every
other right, power and remedy specifically given under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or now or hereafter existing
17
at law or in equity or by statute, and each and every right,
power and remedy whether specifically herein given or
otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or
simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be
deemed expedient by the Administrative Agent. All such
rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the
exercise or the beginning of exercise of one shall not be
deemed a waiver of the right to exercise of any other or
others. No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent in
the exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or partial
or single exercise thereof, and no renewal or extension of
any of the Obligations, shall impair or constitute a waiver
of any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to
be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. No notice to or demand on any Grantor
in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice
or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a
waiver of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent to
any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand. In the event that the Administrative Agent
shall bring any suit to enforce any of its rights hereunder
and shall be entitled to judgment, then in such suit the
Administrative Agent may recover reasonable expenses,
including attorneys' fees, and the amounts thereof shall be
included in such judgment.
6.6 DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS. If the Administrative Agent shall
have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this
Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall
have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined
adversely to the Administrative Agent, then and in every such case the relevant
Grantor, the Administrative Agent and each holder of any of the Obligations
shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder with respect to
the Collateral subject to the security interest created under this Agreement,
and all rights, remedies and powers of the Administrative Agent shall continue
as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
6.7 PURCHASERS OF COLLATERAL. Upon any sale of any of the Collateral by
the Administrative Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale
herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of the
Administrative Agent or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient
discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such
purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any
part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer
or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or nonapplication thereof.

not a Grantor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the
foregoing; or
(f) any other event or circumstance that, but for this provision,

appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to which
it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend
any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any
20
obligation, duty or liability under the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to

beneficiary of this Agreement or otherwise shall derive any right or benefit
herefrom.

delivery by the Administrative Agent and such a Subsidiary of an instrument in
the form of ANNEX I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder
with the same force and effect as if originally named a Grantor herein. The
execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of
any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of
any new Grantor as party to this Agreement.

Security Agreement
[FORM OF NEW GRANTOR SUPPLEMENT]
SUPPLEMENT NO. dated as of ______________, 20__ (this
"SUPPLEMENT"), to the Security Agreement dated as of March 8, 2001 (the
"SECURITY AGREEMENT"), among XXXX INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"PARENT"), each of the Parent's domestic Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit
Agreement hereinafter referred to) party hereto, as grantors (together with the
Parent, the "BORROWERS" or the "GRANTORS" and each a "BORROWER" or a "GRANTOR"),
and LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as
administrative agent (in such capacity, the "ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT") for the
Lenders (as defined below).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:
1. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of March 8, 2001
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "CREDIT
AGREEMENT"), among the Borrowers, the lenders from time to time party thereto
(the "LENDERS"), the Administrative Agent and National City Bank, a national
banking association, as syndication agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the
"SYNDICATION AGENT").
2. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement and the
Credit Agreement.
3. The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement to induce the
Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit. Pursuant
to Section 10.11 of the Credit Agreement, each Subsidiary of the Borrower (other
than Non-United States Subsidiaries) that was not in existence or not a
Subsidiary on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into the
Security Agreement as a Grantor upon becoming a Subsidiary if such Subsidiary
owns or possesses property of a type that would be considered Collateral under
the Security Agreement. Section 7.16 of the Security Agreement provides that
additional Subsidiaries (other than Non-United States Subsidiaries) of the
Borrower may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by execution and
delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned
Subsidiary (the "NEW GRANTOR") is executing this Supplement in accordance with
the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Grantor under the Security
Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the
Issuing Bank to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for
Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.
AGREEMENT:
In consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements contained in
this Agreement, the New Grantor and the Administrative Agent agree as follows:
1. In accordance with Section 7.16 of the Security Agreement, the New
Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement
with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and
the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the
Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents
and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor
thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of
the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in
full of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement), does hereby create
and grant to the Administrative Agent, its successors and assigns, for the
benefit of the Lenders,
their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all the New
Grantor's right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the
Security Agreement) of the New Grantor. Each reference to a "Grantor" in the
Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor. The Security
Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
2. The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency and similar laws affecting the enforceability of creditors' rights
generally and to general principles of equity.
3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an
original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single
contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together,
bear the signatures of the New Grantor and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of
an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be
as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
4. The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on
EXHIBITS A through G attached hereto are true and correct schedules of any and
all Collateral of the New Grantor and (b) set forth under its signature hereto,
is the true and correct location of the chief executive office of the New
Grantor.
5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.
6. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.
7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained
herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular
provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the
validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
8. All communications and notices hereunder shall be given in
accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
9. The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including
the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel employed by the Administrative Agent).
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Grantor and the Administrative Agent have
duly executed this Supplement to the Security Agreement as of the day and year
first above written.
